Race preview
Riders often prove to be vital in these type of races and Simon Walker is always an asset to have on side, which makes ALTERNATE ROUTE of interest. The four-year-old has been running well in recent months and will be hard to keep out of the frame if handling this unique surface. Serenity Now won over 2m here a week ago and has an obvious chance under a 6lb penalty, while Best Example is also considered.
